Maternal Serum Screen 2 Advanced Reflex to Maternal Blood for Fetal DNA MBFD Chromosome 21 Test
Introduction
The Maternal Serum Screen 2 Advanced Reflex to Maternal Blood for Fetal DNA MBFD Chromosome 21 Test is a pioneering prenatal diagnostic test designed to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), in the developing fetus. This non-invasive test combines maternal serum markers with advanced DNA sequencing techniques to provide expectant mothers with critical information about their pregnancy.
What the Test Measures
This test measures key biomarkers in the maternal blood, including:
- PAPP-A (Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A)
- Free Beta HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
- Risk Evaluation
- MBFD-21 (Maternal Blood Fetal DNA for Chromosome 21)
These components are analyzed to evaluate the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, providing a comprehensive risk assessment for expectant mothers.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is recommended for pregnant women between 10-13 weeks of gestation, particularly those who may have:
- A family history of chromosomal abnormalities
- Advanced maternal age (35 years or older)
- Previous pregnancies affected by trisomy
- Other risk factors, such as diabetes or smoking
If you experience any of these risk factors or have concerns about your pregnancy, consider discussing this test with your healthcare provider.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Non-invasive and safe for both mother and fetus
- Provides early detection of potential chromosomal abnormalities
- Allows for informed decision-making regarding further diagnostic testing
- Offers peace of mind to expectant parents
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Maternal Serum Screen 2 Test will indicate your risk level for chromosomal abnormalities. A positive result does not confirm the presence of an abnormality but indicates a higher risk, prompting further diagnostic testing if necessary. It is essential to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to understand the implications and next steps.
